Longtime CLOUT favourite Austel has been establishing her introspective, thoughtful sound over the last few years with an unerring amount of consistency and charm. Her tracks are often affecting and poignant, laced with haunting moments of sonic beauty and poise, and the artist has only grown more expansive and creative with her delicate sound over time.

Her latest release is the gorgeous, shadowy new single ‘Cut Me Down’. The melancholy release sees the artist reflecting on a relationship that ended prematurely before it ever really had a chance to get going, and the gravity and softness of her vocals really does a great job of selling the emotion and weight of the situation. The artist’s lush, atmospheric sound is on full display here, poised and met with glittery analog synths and her dreamy layered vocals.
